The Master Artist ... by Dr. Irene Surya

The Master Artist, Lord Almighty

Paints each day in varied hues.

Each day, a masterpiece

The perfection of His brilliance.

Myriad vivacious hues at dawn, Radiant bright at midday

Somber colors at twilight

With streaks of white in between.

The Great Artist with His palette

Depicts my life in distinct hues.

Some days are vibrant and colorful

While others are pale and subdued.

Each stroke is delicate and distinct

A unique portrayal in itself.

At times, I don’t understand His strokes.

Other times, I question His work.

The perfect contours of God’s faithfulness

Beautify the imperfections of my disobedience,

The flawless blending of God’s love and justice

Fills the insipid canvas with elegance.

The Lord holds my hand lovingly

As He paints on gently To sketch a marvelous masterpiece

A beautiful story of His grace.
